It is fine if you are ready for participating to CV project. However in order to participate such project shall exist.
At first the question is for the scientists, what valuable projects could be drafted within a couple of days or weeks?
Valuable science is not something you can make quick and dirty.
You can waste resources based on quick and dirty actions, but you cannot make science quick and dirty.
About 10 years ago, when it was necessary, WCG supported "over the night" influenza-related project, because it was a need AND science was available.
Whatever Covid-19 criticality is, it is mainly a "temporary" disease. Today, contributing to the other WCG projects is as valuable as to participate to Covid-19 related projects.
Based on past experience, we know all that such big moves of (new) supporters is in the most cases like a straw fire.
Nevertheless scientific research needs at first middle to long term commitment.
Enjoy crunching for science at WCG or somewhere else,

I did Rosetta@home for a week and didn't get a single unit related to this virus to be honest. Getting better luck with F@h CPU units. What's funny is F@h is so swamped with new volunteers that it sometimes takes 3 or more hours before I can get any work unit from any of their CPU projects, so WCG kicks in automatically.

It already exists. It just needs a research group to use it for SARS-CoV-2:

I'll remember that not unlike the candle industry who thought electricity was going to market too quickly.

Unlike the candle industry, bad pharmaceutical products can injure and kill the patients.
Past experiences showed us that shortcuts in this particular area can be devastating.
Science takes time and this time is not comparable with the "media time" resp. "public time".
FDA like many other regulatory agencies has to enforce some rules for securing public health: quick, cheap, and dirty work and products are never good for public health.
The different examples presented and extensively discussed in Katherine Eban's book illustrate very good that taking public health related decisions based on politics (political correctness) and pure economical considerations injured and killed people.
Especially today with covid-19 "desperateness" it is more than important to be able to take reasonable and valuable decisions avoiding "political show".
We need to take the time to understand what does really happen and why, instead to take inadequate decision, even if such rapid decisions seem to be good at first.
For example, it seems that taking Ibuprofen at the beginning of a covid-19 infection makes the evolution dramatically worst than taking nothing.
At first, it seems to be helpful to fight against fever, at the end the result is dramatically bad.
For healthcare related questions, it is always the same challenge: to be able to evaluate accurately and adequately risks and benefits.
It is not an easy tasks, since it is all about people life and death.
Cheers,
Yves
